Investing is not nearly as difficult as it looks. Successful investing involves doing a few things right and avoiding serious mistakes.

Managing risk is a key variable, frankly, all aspects of life, business is just one of them, and one of the things that most people do in terms of managing risk, that's actually bad thinking, is they think they can manage risk to zero. Everything has some risk to it. You know, you drive your car down the street, a drunk driver may hit you. So what you're doing is you're actually trying to get to an acceptable level of risk.

Reid Hoffman

John C. Bogle

Successful investing is about having people agree with you ... later.

James Grant

maturity meant thinking about risk long before you pondered the reward, and that success and happiness in life were as much about avoiding mistakes as making your mark into the world.

The long-term policies that will be most effective all have to do with investment: investing in ourselves, investing in opportunities, creating good schools, and creating situations where people can acquire skills that enable them to be successful.

David Autor

Successful investing professionals are disciplined and consistent and they think a great deal about what they do and how they do it.
